xAI has launched the Grok Voice Agent Builder, enabling the rapid creation of phone-based voice customer service agents.
Features mentioned include:
- Creating agents by describing workflows in natural language
- Integrating knowledge bases, supporting PDFs, Markdown, company docs, and policy guidelines
- Configurable voice options supporting 25+ languages, plus voice cloning
- Built-in Guardrails
- Automatic assignment of a free +1 US phone number upon completion for direct test calls, with real-time preview available in the browser
Currently in Beta, it is billed per minute at roughly $0.05/minute. The author notes this might be one of the easiest ways to get a US phone number right now.
